A High Power Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Linear Micromotor Using Slotted Stator
A novel ultrasonic micro linear motor that uses 1st longitudinal and 2nd bending modes, derived from bar type stator with a rectangular slot cut through the stator length, has been proposed and designed for end-effect devices of microrobotics and bio-medical applications. The slot structure plays an important role in the motor design, and can be used not only to tune the resonance frequency of ...
متن کاملRotary Ultrasonic Motors Actuated By Traveling Flexural Waves
Efficient miniature actuators that are compact and consume low power are needed to drive space and planetary mechanisms in future NASA missions. Ultrasonic rotary motors have the potential to meet this NASA need and they are developed as actuators for miniature telerobotic applications. These motors have emerged in commercial products but they need to be adapted for operation at the harsh space...
متن کاملSchlieren visualization of ultrasonic standing waves in mm-sized chambers for ultrasonic particle manipulation
BACKGROUND For the design and characterization of ultrasonic particle manipulation devices the pressure field in the fluid cavity is of great interest. The schlieren method provides an optical tool for the visualization of such pressure fields. Due to its purely optical nature this experimental method has got some unique advantages compared to methods like particle tracking. RESULTS A vertica...
متن کاملNonequilibrium fluctuations, traveling waves, and instabilities in active membranes.
The stability of a flexible fluid membrane containing a distribution of mobile, active proteins (e.g., proton pumps) is shown to depend on the structure and functional asymmetry of the proteins. A stable active membrane is in a nonequilibrium steady state with height fluctuations whose statistical properties are governed by the protein activity. Disturbances are predicted to travel as waves at ...
متن کاملDo cyanobacteria swim using traveling surface waves?
Bacteria that swim without the benefit of flagella might do so by generating longitudinal or transverse surface waves. For example, swimming speeds of order 25 microns/s are expected for a spherical cell propagating longitudinal waves of 0.2 micron length, 0.02 micron amplitude, and 160 microns/s speed. This problem was solved earlier by mathematicians who were interested in the locomotion of c...
